The Cidre Brut by Drouin is born in the picturesque region of Normandy, a land renowned for its ancient tradition in quality cider production. Made with a scrupulous selection of apples grown in local orchards, this cider expresses the authentic character of the territory with a perfect balance between freshness and structure. The natural fermentation method, typical of the area, gives the Cidre Brut a slight effervescence and a lively acidity that enhance its drinkability.

On the nose, it opens with fruity notes of green apple and floral nuances, accompanied by delicate hints of citrus and a mineral touch that enriches the bouquet. On the palate, it is dry and lively, with a slender body and a balanced persistence that leaves a pleasant fresh and clean aftertaste. Ideal as an aperitif, it pairs well with dishes based on shellfish, fresh cheeses, or light French cuisine, enhancing delicate flavors without overpowering them.

The Cidre Brut by Drouin is the refined expression of a centuries-old tradition that celebrates the quality of raw materials and the skilled art of fermentation, offering a unique and refreshing tasting experience.

Distillation

Double distillation in a 2,500 L repasse pot still; first distillation to obtain the 'petites eaux' (~30°), second distillation to ~70°, with heads and tails cuts calibrated according to the quality of the cider.

Ageing

Aging primarily in small French oak barrels (many reused casks) that promote pronounced wood–air exchange; use of barrels previously used for Sherry, Port and Banyuls to add color and complexity; racking and blending carried out in larger casks when necessary.

Raw materials

cider apples (various cider apple varieties)
